Walking the Walk - day 3

cerealDay 3: Well, that's a surprise. When I started this challenge, I thought I'd discover that I was already eating 25 to 30 grams of fiber a day. I'm close, but I wasn't quite reaching that goal.

I've added some higher fiber veggies to my usual favorites. For instance, I usually top my salad at lunch with cucumber or peppers, which have 1-2 grams of fiber per half cup. Today, I put edamame and avocado on too, which upped the fiber quotient considerably.

Breakfast: Whole grain cereal (Cheerios), 1/2 cup blueberries, 1/2 cup milk: 5 grams
Lunch: Romaine, tuna, edamame, avocado, dressing: 5 grams
Snack: Celery and peanut butter: 4 grams
Dinner: Turkey burger on 100% whole wheat bun, steamed green beans, chopped fruit: about 10 grams
Snack: Popcorn, stove-popped in a splash of sesame oil: 2 grams

Grand total, 26 grams!
